Robyn and Johan were amazing, friendly hosts. The cottage is such a peaceful gem. Robyn and Johan were amazing, friendly hosts. The cottage is such a peaceful and beautifully crafted haven, especially if you are travelling with 2 dogs as I was. A gorgeous view of the "De Rust" sign on the mountain welcomed us to a nice, private braai area. The bed was very comfy and I slept like a dream. Thank you very much! We will definitely return!

Was an absolute pleasure hosting you and your very well-behaved fur-babies! We truly appreciate the effort you made to clean up after your "kids". Your friendly demeanor is a host's dream! We look so forward to welcoming you all back soon!

Thank you Pieter, we really do strive to give our guests a home away from home experience. We do not have staff and do everything ourselves, so your review has left us feeling very proud. Thank you!

It was indescribably delicious. Excellent place. Very neat and clean. Lovely people who own the place. We will definitely visit them again.

Onbeskryflik lekker gewees. Uitstekende plek. Baie netjies en skoon. Lieflike mense wat die plek besit. Ons gaan vir seker weer by hulle kuier.

Our stay was amazing! We had an amazing stay. The host was really friendly. The cottage is one of the most beautiful places we had the privilege to have our vacation at. It was so amazing, we wished we could have stayed longer. The location, the cottage's design and decor, everything was really amazing. Thank you!

Our visit was top notch. Accommodation is extra special. This is one of the few places, if any, that we have booked through the website in the past 10 years plus. Excellent accommodation. Detail unmatched. The Cottage should actually get a 10 star rating, because it is the best accommodation. Hospitality par excellence.

Ons kuier was uit die boonste rakke. Verblyf is ekstra spesiaal. Dit is een van die min plekke, indien enige, wat ons die afgelope 10 jaar plus deur die webtuiste bespreek het. Uitmuntende verblyf. Detail ongeëwenaar. The Cottage moet eintlik 10 ster gradeering kry, want dit is die beste verblyf. Gasvryheid par excellence.

Incredible place! Thank you for all the love and effort you put into making our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. From the welcome sign upon arrival, the cookies and sweets, to the toy box for our little boy and the detailed decor with spruce trees and flowers. It all added to the incredible experience and time with you. Storm and Skye are lovely and very obedient and we had a great time playing with them. We will definitely stop by your place again if we are in the area!

Ongelooflike plek! Dankie vir al die liefde en moeite ingesit om ons verblyf so gemaklik en lekker as moontlik te maak. Van die instap met persoonlike verwelkomingsbord, die koekies en lekkers, tot die speelgoed boks vir ons seuntjie en detail dekor met spekbome en blommetjies. Dit het als bygedra tot die ongelooflike ondervinding en tyd by julle. Storm en Skye is dierbaar en baie gehoorsaam en ons het lekker met hulle gespeel. Ons sal vir seker weer by jul stop as ons in die area is!

Very very pleasant. One of the best places to stay I've ever stayed. Will definitely book in again if the opportunity arises. Owner's handiwork in building the place is excellent.

Baie baie aangenaam. Een van die beste verblyfplekke nog gebly. Sal vir seker weer daar inboek, indien geleentheid dit voordoen. Eienaar se handewerk om die plek te bou, is uitstekend.

Thank you very much, Anton! We appreciate your words! We are very proud and grateful to Johan who put hours of love into his building/woodwork. If you are passionate about something, then it is not work! We look forward to welcoming you again!

Baie dankie, Anton! Ons waardeer jou woorde! Ons is baie trots en dankbaar op Johan wat ure se liefde ingesit het met sy bou/houtwerk. As mens passievol oor iets is, dan is dit nie werk nie! Ons sien uit om julle weer te verwelkom!
